Maxim promotes high-performance analog ICs, do you know it?

Did you know that Maxim promotes high-performance analog ICs? Maxim Integrated Products, Inc (NASDAQ: MXIM) announced the launch of three modular, highly integrated analog ICs to help designers provide higher efficiency and performance for increasingly miniaturized electronic systems. The MAX41464 sub-1GHz wireless transmitter, MAX38888 backup power regulator, and MAX16141 36V logic OR FET controller are used in building automation, industrial, automotive, and portable applications. The above products will be unveiled at the 2018 Munich Electronics Show from November 13th to 16th.

System designers are constantly looking for new ways to improve system efficiency and performance, extend battery life, add new features, and reduce size and bill of materials (BOM) costs. Maxim's latest analog ICs provide industry-leading features that pave the way to achieve these goals.

Sub-GHz FSK transmitter delivering the industry’s highest output power

The MAX41464 is a sub-1GHz frequency shift keying (FSK) transmitter that provides up to +16dBm output power to support various long-distance communication wireless sensors including building automation and security systems. The transmitter is powered by a single button cell battery with an operating current of only 12mA. Its power consumption is 30% lower than the nearest competitor, effectively extending battery life. The transmitter is fully programmable via the I2C interface. It operates with a 16MHz single crystal oscillator. The preset frequency mode requires no programming and can be connected to an external microcontroller through a single-wire interface. In preset mode, the device also provides automatic shutdown with a shutdown current of less than 20nA and a valid data detector that provides automatic wake-up. The device frequency hopping range is from 300MHz to 960MHz, supporting global standards. The IC operates over extreme temperature ranges: -40°C to 105°C.

Provide uninterrupted backup power supply solutions for critical systems

Maxim's Continua™ family of backup power regulators sets a new industry standard for backup power in critical system designs. High-performance regulators manage backup power sources such as supercapacitors or capacitor banks. When the main power supply is turned off, continuous power supply to critical system components is achieved within seconds. The MAX38888 reversible buck/boost regulator is the first in the Continua family and features industry-leading 95% peak efficiency. In buck mode, the MAX38888 input voltage range is 2.5 to 5V, charging the energy storage device with a peak inductor current of up to 500mA. When the main power supply fails, the MAX38888 starts the boost operating mode, generates an output voltage of 2.5 to 5V from the energy storage device, continues to discharge to 0.8V, and the peak inductor current is as high as 2.5A. For portable electronic devices that use batteries as their main power source, the MAX38888's quiescent current in idle mode is 15 times lower than competing solutions, extending battery life by up to twice as long. The MAX38888 solution size is 38mm2, which is 33% smaller than the nearest competing solution.

Ensuring the safety of automotive electrical systems

The MAX16141 is a 36V or-operated FET controller with built-in voltage and current circuit breakers that monitors overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, reverse current, and overtemperature conditions. It is widely used in infotainment systems and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). ) and other automotive power applications. The controller provides a full set of system protection features with a response time of only 0.3µs (typ) to reverse current activity, improving system hold-up time and functionality under automotive transient conditions. By supporting true shutdown mode to prevent leakage current, the current consumption of inactive circuits is minimized. The controller effectively reduces total system power consumption, prioritizing engine starting power over all other electrical systems.
